SpecfaI to the Indianapolis Journsl.
PERU, June 6.-At the election, this afternoon,
for county superintendent queer question
arose. which will most likely have to be settled
by the courts. The vote stands seven Demo
Gratis and seven Republicans, with the Repub-
Jican auditor. On the vote electing chairman,
the Democratic side claimed that tho auditor
had no right TO vote and so protested in writing
all signing and Withdrawing. The Republicans
then voted, did the auditor, and elected Mr.
Woodbridge to serve the ensuing term. They
claim that he is elected by a majority.

How He Raked In the Gold Coin keepsake

How He Raked In the Gold Coin Keepsakes
of Mrs. Grant
New York Graphic.
Most people have read that Ferdinand Wards
absorption of the assets of the Grant family ex-
tended even to a few hundred dollars worth of
gold keepsake coins which the General had
given to Mrs Grant, but the Casual is not awars
that the precise circumstances under which these
were grabbed by the Unsuitable Ferdinand have
ever been narrated. 1t is the usage of large cor.
por aticns, whenever meeting of directors is
held. to present each director with So gold
piece or its equivalent in a crisp new bill. Gen.
Grant was director IN several large concerns.
and the gold pieces he received were always
given TO his wife, who kept them in a vase rest
ing on piece of furniture in the parlor. One
evening. when Ward was visiting, somebody pro-
posed game of penny ante for amusement IL
suited the mood of the party but counters
could be found. I'VE shall havo to get buttons,
or coffee beans, something else" suggested
the General Suddenly somebody thought of
the vase with nearly hundred So gold pieces in
it. Amid general laughter the contents were
empted on the table aud the party laughed mer-
rily at using solid gold counters in q game for
penny stakes. When the game ceased Ward
gathered the cleaning coins toward him in
heap and exclaimed: What shame, Mrs.
Grant, to have much good money lying Idle!
Let me have it and will double it for you" Re-
alizing that her mode of keeping the money was
the safest, Mrs Grant acquiesced-and that
was tho last she ever saw of it.
